Weak

You can keep saying that but the stats don't lie and we don't look capable of killing a game off, even if it's gifted on a platter. I think we'll all happily eat a *** off humble pie if they manage it but I'm not going to apologise for pessimism given the situation the club has got itself into.

[Clarkey123]

Positives

- Iverson 

- Soyuncu 

- Vards confidence

 

Negatives

- 1 point in 6 pointer 

- Barnes (woeful)

- Maddison (wanted to be star of the show when the team mattered most) 

- Tielemans (towing a caravan and passing half of what it used to be) 

- Got to beat Fulham away

Even the pessimistic bed wetters can't say we're not fighting and giving our all after the past 4 games

Should have gone and had a read of it 

Probably a flippant comment, but for professional footballers it's embarrassing that this hasn't happened.

Was like watching a couple of punch drunk 40 year old boxers in the 12th round of an area title fight for most of it.

Probably very exciting for the neutrals, but not much quality on show. 2 poor sides. 

Tough to survive now. 

 

Just as tough for Forest, Leeds and Everton though, so we are still in the mix with them. Leeds are down I reckon. 

Forest and Everton can win 2 of their 4, and I'd say we could win 2 of ours as well. 

I am far from optimistic, but neither should Forest or Everton fans be, and they have to out score us on points due to our GD. 

[Leeds Fox]

What most of us are saying, they’ll be saying the same. Iversen turned into Kasper for the day.

 

That’s a big point, considering how well we played last 40 mins. They were dangerous all game too.

 

Couldn’t have asked for more (penalty aside). 

[Mike Oxlong]

Absolutely staggering how many chances we give up from unforced errors 

 

Without Iversen we’d have conceded at least 4 at home to a really poor Everton side

3 games without defeat now. Maddison scores the penalty, we win. OK, he didn't, unfortunately. Iversen looks solid. We will get the points we need. 

Is that like saying if they take their chances they win?

yes it was a pen, but the XG was very similar 

[Chrysalis]

Another positive is Vardy is looking like he is going to hit form at the right time.

If the past 2 games against this dross is ‘our all’ then we really are just a bad football team.

We’re still in serious trouble. But if you’d have offered us this position going into the final 4 games a few weeks ago I imagine most would have snapped your hand off. 
 

If we beat Fulham (a big if admittedly) we won’t need points from Newcastle or Liverpool. They’d be bonus points. 35 points with our GD should be enough so 3 points at Fulham would mean a win on the final home game would be enough. As I say, if we can’t do that we don’t deserve to be in the league. 

Totally agree but it's only us positive ones who can see that we're the only team at the bottom who have put an unbeaten run together. We have also scored in every game since Deano has arrived. If we can just learn to shut up shop we will have a real chance of  staying up. We definitely didn't feel we had a real chance of staying up after the Bournemouth game.

Keep relying on Tielemans and Maddison, they’ve been passengers for weeks.

Again..that’s why..

 

 

Tonight should of been their night..Never never demand taking over a penalty.

knee-jerk from me at the moment,but we had 3 goals in this game Maddison

couldnt convert the obvious as we were on top…Gutted for our loyal honest fans.

We live to fight another day…

hoping praying our GD is still the point that keeps us up.

Football is a crazy game,but maybe now less of our  fans expecting our survival,so which ever way it falls. Tonight was our one big chance of pushing away, that penalty descision ,has to have been decided,instead of any confrontation…

poop poor..poor.

I like you Madders,but you screwed up today…and you have to carry the can.

You and Barnes owe us 4 games…Liverpool,Newcastle have to be pointed..

Deano..needs.  to get Mendy back in…

I feel more confident, we should be playing with 3 CBs and Kristiansen…

                       Iversen

             Souttar. Faes. Soyuncu

                           Mendy

           .    Praet          Kristiansen            

                     Soumare    KdH

                      Tete/Daka.    Vardy. 

 

We can’t seem to stop Teams scoring and taking the game forward…

Always Hoping that Tielemans,Maddison ,Ndidi Barnes can work wonders

Get some grafters in..

The 3 from 4  can come on as super subs..

Sick of them not getting their acts together, over last 10 games..

and the actual ones making big mistakes. Bench the 4 of them .!

                               

[Devonfox1884]

Anyone can miss a penalty, it happens. What frustrated me about Madders was him constantly holding on to the ball for too long in the second half.

 

His back pass against Bournemouth and this tonight do have the potential to cost us massively.

I just wish we'd go for the throat when we have the upper hand, when the opposition are labouring.

That's the standards most are willing to accept nowadays. Rodgers really did a job on this club

[iancognito]

Smith saying on RL that Nacho followed by Madders is the pen taker. Which makes no sense as Tielemans picked up the ball. And 136 goal Jamie Vardy is on the pitch.

I like the positivity, but in this case I disagree. He was trying Hollywood passes all second half, so keen to be the hero it got in the way of any meaningful link-up play.

 

Really frustrating and immature performance in a big game against a defence he has the ability to unlock.

He was trying too much ALL the time. Just move it quickly sometimes, especially when you aren’t really doing much when you keep forcing it. 

[MancFox24]

Today just sums up our season. We look a threat going forward but we're just way too open. How you concede that many chances to a team like Everton is ridiculous. And the way we start games has been a problem for 2 years now. Unless we can find a couple of clean sheets over the remaining games I just don't see us staying up.

who is worse Daka or Tete

Ndidi,Barnes, shall I go on..

[Taz_The_Fox]

Smith said "Worst Performance since I've been here" hopefully that is the end of the Luke Thomas experiment then.

 

Madders hung onto the ball way to long all game. 

 

That was most certainly a point earned, not two points dropped. Iversen massive

The doom and gloomers will love it but as things stand we're safe, Fulham have nothing to play for , other teams down there have hard games 

 

Everyone together now oh when the Saints go marching in

I said he wasn't a big game player when he wasn't in the team against Wolves, an was greeted with a dissatisfied response. He's a sunshine player, fair play he put in a good slide tackle, set up the 2nd, but I wasn't confident he was going to score the penalty. Can't see him ever having a Beckham against Greece moment in his career. He played OK, but some players are just able to find an extra level when needed, others are not quite there.

Yes, I completely agree. It’s fine to say that he is talented on his day, I get that, but he isn’t alone in that department (especially at this level).

 

As harsh as this might sound, players are ultimately both judged and remembered for delivering in big moments. It’s partially why Vardy and Mahrez are so widely liked in our fanbase.

 

If you looked at his technical ability then Maddison is a great player. But seasons aren’t defined by good goals in games that we have lost. You need players to turn up in those crucial matches, he just doesn’t do that enough IMO.

My Mrs could have took a better penalty than Madders ...   and with her tights around her ankles whilst trying to light a fag
